According to Mark's mother, their wedding anniversary just passed and she wanted to commemorate the date with music and dancing.

"Just wanna share what moved me last night. It's my parent's wedding anniversary yesterday and that night, Mama wants to celebrate it with more singing and dancing. I asked her why and she said she wants to celebrate it while my papa's body is still here for the last time 'coz starting next year it will be just her. In this photo I'm Papa's proxy while my bro is singing 'Dance With My Father.' Mama said she's happy--at least for that moment and I'm sure papa is happy too."
